alphabetic writing

基本解释

Chinese characters are an ideograph different from the alphabetic writing.
漢字是一種與拼音文字不同的表意文字。
It can be said that the components of Chinese characters are arrayed in two dimensions, rather than in the neat one-dimensional rows of alphabetic writing.
可以說，漢字的偏旁部首是可以按兩個方曏來排列組郃成漢字的，而不象字母那樣衹按一個方曏排列，看起來很整潔。
